CXN100 Network Audio Streamer

We shouldn’t have favorites, but the CXN100 stands out. Both hi-fi connoisseurs and dedicated Cambridge audio fans, who were already impressed with its forerunner, the CXN V2, are in for an even greater treat with the CXN100. This device has the power to revitalize a traditional hi-fi setup, infusing it with modern capabilities and a forward-looking appeal. As a network-connected device, the CXN100 also offers the convenience of remote firmware updates through the StreamMagic app, ensuring it stays up-to-date with the latest features and services.

ESS SABRE 9028Q2M DAC 

Cambridge's highly acclaimed forerunner in network players, the CXN V2, was equipped with dual Wolfson DACs, which were considered top-of-the-line at the time. The CXN100, however, represents a significant technological leap forward. It features the cutting-edge ESS 9028Q2M DAC chip, which not only delivers superior audio performance but also outperforms any DAC previously used in a Cambridge network player, both in sound quality and technical measurements. The excellence of the ESS 9028Q2M's timing filter is such that it eliminates the need for a post-DAC filter, simplifying the signal path and reducing the intrusion of technology on the music. With the introduction of the CXN100, all Cambridge streaming products now incorporate ESS DACs, a choice driven by their efficiency and, more importantly, the exceptional sound quality they produce.

StreamMagic

The CXN100 comes equipped with both free and subscription-based high-resolution streaming services, offering the highest sound quality available. Additionally, it features Apple AirPlay2 and Chromecast built-in, allowing you to easily access a variety of streaming platforms such as Apple Music, Amazon Music, BBC Sounds, and more. Furthermore, the CXN100 is Roon Ready, which means it integrates seamlessly with Roon's software to centralize and enhance your digital music browsing experience, all in one convenient location.

Gen 4 Streaming Module

At their London headquarters, Cambridge has been meticulously refining StreamMagic for over a decade. This innovative combination of hardware and software is the driving force behind all of their network players. Now in its fourth generation, this streaming module is the same advanced technology used in their award-winning Evo all-in-one players. The latest iteration of this module supports all current file types and resolutions, including up to 32-bit / 768kHz, DSD512, and MQA, all delivered in exceptional quality. It also includes integrated Bluetooth for effortless connectivity. The complementary StreamMagic app is both intuitive and powerful, offering easy and comprehensive control over your music, regardless of the streaming source, be it internet radio, Spotify, TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer, or your own downloaded music files. Additionally, with Over the Air (OTA) updates, your CXN100 will continuously evolve, gaining new features and services, thus enhancing your listening experience over time.
